Submission Call

Oct 21, 2020

The Port Hole has been, and remains, very effective in getting the word out nationally on CPS-ECP programs and, by extension, members’ involvement in those initiatives. This is a wonderful opportunity that relatively few organizations can boast of.

For The Port Hole to fulfill its mandate to keep CPS-ECP members across Canada informed of events and activities unique to the organization as well as new trends and technologies emerging from the boating world, your submitted contributions in the form of words or images, or both, are vital.

For articles, 300 to 400 words works best. Please ensure your full name as you would like it to appear is noted as well as your CPS-ECP affiliation, such as your home squadron and, where applicable, your position.

As for images, high-resolution photographs reproduce best but don’t get too hung up on technical details. If your shot is in focus, is framed well and is of a good size, that will generally work.

Email your written submissions, in editable text format (PDFs are a challenge to edit), or your high-resolution images (300 dpi or more), to theporthole@cps-ecp.ca

Sailing into the Future at Antigua Sailing Week

By Mathew Channer

“Standby tack,” Canadian sailor Katy Campbell orders. The crew scrambles over the sheet lines and braces on the deck.

“Three, two, one, tack!”

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
